Need a little quirky and cool in your life? Of course you do. Clive Roddy is the artist that can provide just that. I fell for his wave ring pictured here. Not only is it an homage to a great piece of art, but it stands out in my jewelry collection and when someone can do that I immediately stand at attention. What else ya got, Clive? You've got a forever fan now, so let's see what that creative brain of yours can do. If you're going to mix jewelry and fine art you're going to be just fine.

Do yourself a favor and check out this guy. He makes some cool stuff and I feel like he is just getting started. Want to win that wave ring? 'Like' this post on Facebook or comment below to be entered. This contest closes in twenty-four hours. Good Luck!

Elea Jewelry offers such elegant and sophisticated designs that I couldn't decide which pieces to showcase in this feature. Instead, I created a slide show of many of my favourites. When you visit this shop you'll see what I mean. The Gold Trillion Diamond ring sits beside me in all its dainty splendour and I don't want to let it go. Of course, I will.

One of you lucky readers is going to take it home. Please like this post on Facebook or comment below to be entered. This contest closes in twenty four hours. Good Luck!

You can't imagine how much I adore this leather clutch. It sits beside me on the couch as I type this. I've removed the essentials from my extremely messy purse and placed them neatly into my new clutch. The old purse will hang in the back of my closet where purses go to die. I don't mean to sound dramatic but there is no way I am going to clean that purse out anytime soon.  

Gathered and Sown has gifted me with this chic little bag and not only is it gorgeous but it is too small for bags of goldfish, ninja turtles or diapers. It is perfection.

Yes, there is one for you. It is a gorgeous maple brown color, so perfect for the Fall. Please like this post on Facebook or comment below to be entered. This contest closes in twenty four hours. Good Luck!

Ruxitirisi creates minimalist stunning handmade gold filled and sterling silver jewelry . What interests me most about this artist is this sneak peak into her shop. Go ahead, click that link and see where the magic happens. I just love knowing the history of something I own. The potter who makes my mug, the seamstress who sews my sweater or the metalsmith who creates my jewelry. 

These pieces are sophisticated and classic and absolutely perfect for an exhausted autism mom wearing yoga pants and drinking wine on a Tuesday night. What, just me? Of course, I kid, they are really perfect for anyone. Get a jump on your Christmas shopping, why don't you?

If you'd like to win one of the gold filled bracelets you see in this post please like this post on Facebook or comment below. This contest closes in twenty four hours. Good Luck!

The Dolly Dama

At my house we have lots of "American Girl" dolls. You know, the kind that they sell at Target. They always forget to write American Girl on the box but they are just as beautiful and special as those that come from NYC. Is your house the same? Of course it is. Who can afford the real deal?

Our Grace, like any six year old, is obsessed. When she spotted the shop
The Dolly Dama one evening, she begged me to request a sample. She surprised me when she suggested the sample be auctioned off at Kate's service dog fundraiser. I, of course, obliged and the talented seamstress was happy to provide us with this dress for the auction. Now, Grace is beyond thrilled that we have such a priceless item at our auction. She is allowing her most special doll to model it for you. She would like to remind you that the doll is NOT included!

If you would like to reserve a bid on this dress please email me here. Otherwise, we will see you at the auction. And, please, browse this shop. I am sure you have a darling or two in your life that would appreciate these dresses as much as Miss Grace.

First of all, she is doing her PhD in archeology and much of her research surrounds autism and  theory of mind. So, as if I needed another reason to adore her. But then, she went and sent me this tiny handmade bookshelf necklace and forever cemented my adoration.
 
 Go check out her shop
Coryographies, and tell me how she does it? Maybe I am jealous but I prefer to think she has an army of tiny elves helping her build these awesome creations! Wait, that story sounds familiar....

I will be auctioning off my bookshelf necklace at Kate's
service dog fundraiser in a few weeks. If you'd like to place a reserve bit, please email me here. Otherwise, enjoy 10% off your order with coupon code GOTEAMKATE. Happy Shopping.

Can't you see these getting really popular amongst school aged children? They need a place for their iPod and their lunch money, right? Why not a fashionable little hip bag like this. At least we know it would be next to impossible for them to lose!
Koatye1 is singlehandedly bring back the fanny back and it is so sweet and so chic that I am desperate for one for myself. It's called a hip bag in the listing, which is a far better name, at any rate. Grace wears constantly. She can carry her asthma puffers, her diary and her money (a few coins she is saving for our next trip to NYC) with her everywhere. It would be great for an epi-pen or an allerject, too. I love the picture of the little girl below, with the exquisite haircut, rocking that hip bag like the doll she is. 

I haven't forgotten about you. I just can't get enough of this little bag. You must browse this shop and explore what they can do with textiles. If you do browse please let me know by liking this post on Facebook or commenting below. You'll be entered into a draw to win a hand painted, one-of-a-kind, clutch similar to the one you see below.

Each night as my family sits down to a home cooked meal we discuss all the best parts of our day...and if you believe that you are brand new to this blog. We may eat what can be prepared in fifteen minutes or less and we may eat in satellite locations but we eat at the same(ish) time and we always talk.

Jennilyons81 has helped us get a little closer to that ideal family dinner with the personalized napkins you see below. Whether we are sitting together with a balanced meal or not we can use our napkins to start a discussion. There are a number of sentences that can be added to your napkins so check in with Jenni and tell her what you'd like on yours.

While you're there you should browse the shop for other personalized gifts for the home. You can be in denial all you want but the fact is there are only a few paydays left until Christmas and you need to start shopping!

I have a few sets of these napkins to give away so please like this post on Facebook or comment below to be entered. This contest closes in twenty-four hours. Good Luck!
